- Keep - A simplistic Google search reveals that WILD flavors has seen lots of press coverage. Admittedly a lot of them are press releases, but there are also some reliable sources which seem to indicate notability as a corporation. -Marcusmax(speak) 17:10, 21 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, plenty of mentions in g-hits. Couldn't find in-depth coverage though. Toddst1 (talk) 17:20, 21 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I think the problem is more so with the current content in the article, but the company appears to have some notability as a business. -Marcusmax(speak) 00:03, 22 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment I agree with Marcusmax, but overall the article sounds like an advertisement, especially the "Proprietary Technologies" section. Miles Blues (talk · contribs) 23:26, 21 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - They are one of the smaller players in the F&F field, but they are not insignificant. It's hard to find in-depth information on any company in the F&F field because they are business-to-business not business-to-consumer and their work is usually highly confidential (Coke doesn't want Pepsi to know where they get their flavors).

- Comment - A merge with Wild (company) might also be worth considering. They are currently in the process of restructuring ([1]) with the aim of an eventual IPO, so maybe it'll make more sense to wait until they unveil their new structure. Wjousts (talk) 18:21, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

- Keep - Article needs major work but that's no reason to delete. The company keeps a low-profile (deliberately, like all flavor manufacturers) but they're a significant player in a significant field. SteveStrummer (talk) 03:18, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Well established, if low key company, with few articles of this type in WP. The article is fairly decent, if slightly attention seeking. Remove the advertising and it will be fine. scope_creep (talk) 22:32, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
